Full Council

20 January 2026

Motion Cornwall Council says it values trial by jury

Action - It was resolved that this Council

i) Mandates the Leader to write to the Home Secretary at their earliest convenience, condemning the Government's plans to massively restrict the ancient right to trial by jury.

ii) Affirms Cornwall Council's support for trial by jury and its civic value to Cornish communities.

iii) Writes to the Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice, and to Cornwall's Members of Parliament, setting out this Council's position.  As well as urging the safeguarding of jury trials as a fundamental component of the justice system.

iv) Asks the Leader and the relevant Cabinet Member to work with Communications to publish a short public statement.  This will recognise the contribution of jurors and signposting official information about jury service.

Response - Letter from the Leader

Motion Cornwall Council Supports Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Business in Cornwall

Action - It was resolved 

1. That this Council mandates the Leader to write to the Chancellor to point out the devastating impact her measures, announced in the Autumn Budget 2025, will have on Cornwall's Retail, Hospitality and Leisure (RHL) sector.
2. That this Council opposes specific measures in the Autumn Budget 2025, which relate to RHL businesses in Cornwall, and requests the Government to:
   (a) Reverse its decision to end existing Retail, Hospitality and Leisure (RHL) business rates relief (40% up to a cash cap per business) on 31 March 2026. The consequence of the current policy will mean that many businesses will face higher bills.
   (b) Consider increasing the business rates discount for hospitality to the full 20p permitted in legislation.
   (c) Commit to delaying business rates revaluation levels for hospitality businesses and freeze them at 2023 levels.
   (d) Acknowledge that whilst the Government has introduced lower business rates multipliers for RHL properties, this is a significantly less generous policy than the previous 40% relief for many businesses.
   (e) Accept that a Transition Relief Scheme only applies to a limited number of businesses. It slows the increase rather than reducing the overall tax burden RHL businesses will face. 
   (f) Implement a 5% reduction in VAT on Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Businesses.
3. That this Council recognises the significant social, economic and cultural contribution that Retail, Hospitality and Leisure businesses provide in Cornwall, including:
   (a) 49,200 job and career opportunities in the RHL sector in Cornwall alone.
   (b) RHL GVA in Cornwall totals £1.35 billion annually.  Highlighting this sector as a significant economic driver locally.
4. That this Council urgently takes action to review the measures announced in the Autumn Budget 2024.  It provides an assessment on their likely impact on the Retail, Hospitality and Leisure sector.
5. That this Council provides and publishes clear guidance on its website on how businesses affected can mitigate these measures and be supported during this difficult time.
6. That officers do not take any action on this decision until Government confirms its position.
